Ex-frat members plead guilty in N.Y. hazing death

GENESEO, N.Y. (AP) — Two former members of a banned college fraternity at a western New York campus admitted Tuesday they plied a student with so much beer, champagne and vodka during a three-day hazing that the young man died of alcohol poisoning.

Arman Partamian, 19, a biology sophomore from New York City, was found dead March 1 after drinking excessively to gain membership in the off-campus fraternity at State University of New York in Geneseo. His blood-alcohol level was 0.55 percent, nearly seven times the legal limit for driving.
